Flavors are designed for maximum impact, but won't take hours to cook, or require special ingredients. Have dinner with the neighbors, sit down to a picnic in the park, or bring a dish to the school luncheon. They come together easily, hold well, and travel beautifully.

Tots! : 50 tot-ally awesome recipes from totchos to sweet po-tot-o pie / Dan Whalen, creator of The food in my beard.
This irresistible die-cut cookbook with a nubby tot-texture on the cover offers 50 delicious, playful, and surprising recipes for snacks, appetisers, inspired main dishes, and inspired sides, even desserts. (Yes, you could create an entire tot-centric dinner.) Here are party dishes like Buffalo Tots and Tot Poutine. A Tot Caesar for an elegant starter. Tots for breakfast, like Tots Benedict and a Tot Shakshuka, and tots for dinner -- Moules Tots, Chicken Tot Pie, Tater Tot Pizza, and Bibimtot. Side dishes -- next Thanksgiving, try Sausage and Tot Stuffing. And for sweets lovers, Tot Churros (deep-fried and dipped in chocolate ganache), Apple Tot Crumble (that crispy salty tot topping really plays off the warm sweet apples), and Tot S'mores -- a heavenly melt of a dish.
Every recipe uses frozen commercial tots -- but Dan Whalen also shows die-hard tot lovers how to make tots from scratch and then alter their creations with different spices (think Tots Vindaloo) and sauces. It's TOT-ally awesome.
